= Siegel's paradox
{wiki=Siegel's_paradox}
Siegel's paradox refers to a phenomenon in number theory concerning the distribution of rational points on elliptic curves and the behavior of certain functions related to these curves. It is named after Carl Ludwig Siegel, who made significant contributions to the fields of number theory and diophantine equations. The paradox arises in the context of counting rational points on a certain type of algebraic variety, specifically elliptic curves.
